During 1918 I published two editions of a work, well known 
to most of you, entitled “The Postage Stamps of the United States, 
1901-1918.” This work, judging by thfe many kind letters I have 
received, has met with the approval of collectors. I now have the 
effrontery to put before you an attempt to analyze, carefully, those 
issues which represent the output of our Bureau of Engraving and 
Printing from its .first contract to produce postage stamps. 

Needless to say, I have to thank the Scott Stamp and Coin 
Co. for the data found in the work on U. S. Postage Sjtamps written 
by that careful and accurate author, Mr. John N. Luff. I also 
acknowledge the use of another publication, “The Philatelic Gazette” 
— the only first-class monthly now published in this country.

PREFACE 

The two principal questions of these issues of 1 894, 1895 and 
1898 are: 

(1) The forms of imprints. 

(2) The make-up of the plates. 

Commencing to pick these issues to pieces, the first thing that 
attracts our attention is the four forms of imprint which we will 
call Types I, II, III and IV. 


— , —

-TYPE-1- 
(plain label)

r-'-i-j 


The frame of the imprint is without end ornaments. The nu- 
merals ore 3 % mm high. 



•TYPE-II- 

(thick numerals 3^mm.tall) 


*1 


The frame of the imprint has an ornament added to the right 
and left ends. The numerals remain 3% mm high. 


155 


-TYPE-II- 

(thick NUMERALS 2% MM. TALL) 

The imprint is the same as Type II but the numerals are smaller 
and more ornate; they measure 2% mm, instead of 2y± mm as 
heretofore. 



328 



•TYPEE?- 

(thin NUMERALS 22 MM.TALl) 

Imprint is same as Types II and III. The numerals are com- 
pletely changed to thin capitals. 

Plates Nos. 1 to 75 inclusive and also plate 159) are all Type I. 
Plates 76 to 154 (excepting the Periodicals and Special Delivery) 
are all Type II. Plates 155 to 327 (except 159) are Type III, and 
Nos. 328 and on are Type IV. This disposes of the imprints and 
leaves for consideration the second question, viz., that of the make- 
up of the plates. There are two kinds of plates, namely, those of 
400 subjects and those of 200 subjects. Outside of that, we only 
have one side issue, viz., the booklet plates of the 2c of 1898, which 
did not appear until 1900. 

In a four hundred subject plate there is a vertical line of color 
drawn down the plate dividing it into two panels of 200 stamps 
and a horizontal line of color across the plate dividing it into 
four panels of 100 stamps. These lines end, marginally, in arrows, 
but as the cutter cuts these when dividing the printed sheet into 
quarters they may be disregarded, except by those ultra specialists 
who reconstruct the cut arrows. All 400 subject plates have top, 
bottom and side imprints — all 200 subject plates have top and bot- 
tom imprints but no side imprints. In the 200 subject plate we find 
two varieties. 

(A) Top, bottom and side arrow guides on the margins only, 
the tops and bottoms being cut by the printers to divide the sheets. 
This leaves the side marginal arrows intact and collectable. 

(B) Similar to (A) but the points of the side arrows are con- 
tinued by a line of color running horizontally across the sheet. To 
sum up: All 200 subject plates admit of top and bottom plate im- 
prints, whilst some plates have arrows only whilst others have 
arrows with line. 

This disposes of the general scheme of these ideas. The un- 
perforated and partly perforated varieties are noted after the issues 
so as not to confuse the listings. I make no mentioin of proofs be- 
cause I know nothing about them at all, and in any case they are 
not stamps. 

Plate number collecting is reviving, as it should, and this is 
an opportune time to acquire them. Marginal arrows are exceed- 
ingly scarce and I may be accused of making some unmerciful quo- 
tations. The quotations in this book are for: 

Plate imprints in strips of three. 

Marginal arrows in blocks of four. 

New York, November, 1918.

There were twenty 400 subject plates and 404 million stamps 
issued. The earlier numbers were very badly perforated and poorly 
gummed. 


TWO CENTS 

The two cent value evidently did not please the authorities as 
we find the original issue modified and then modified again. The 
Scott catalogue lists them as Types 1, 2 and 3, which we follow. 
There were 39 plates of Type I, four plates of Type II and sixteen 
plates of Type III, and of all these types combined there 1271 mil- 
lion stamps issued. 




TYPE I 


TYPE II 



TYPE III 


In Type I the horizontal lines of shading run in equal and un- 
broken thickness through the triangle. 

In Type II these lines have been thinned within the triangle. 

In Type III the lines have been removed in the space between 
the two boundary lines of the triangles.

The carmine or common shade of this stamp commences on 
plate 78, which is type II imprint. Plate No. 89 is a rarity, being 
quoted at 50.00 or so per strip. This stamp is known as imperf 
horizontally, or as we usually describe such things endwise pairs 
without horizontal perfs. The Scott catalogue prices this 15.00, 
which means 30.00 per pair, since a single copy is valueless. 

Eighteen plates were used for this rose shade, all of them of 400 

subjects. 

TWO CENTS. TRIANGLE II 


251 2c rose 50 Block 2.00 

Imprint Type II: Top 2.50 Bottom 2.50 Right 2.50 Left 2.50 

The shades in this stamp are very few, only five plates and 
part of plate 170 being used and the variety, which was of 400 sub- 
ject form, was almost immediately replaced by the following stamp, 
Triangle III. 

TWO CENTS. TRIANGLE III

Imprint Type III : Top 3 . 00 Bottom 3 . 00 Right 3 . 00 Left 3 . 00 

The third imprint is rarer than the second since there were only 
six plates used of the latter against ten plates of the former. The 
stamp is known vertically imperf, giving use sidewise pairs with 
perfs missing, and in that condition is worth 45.00. The high quo- 
tation of 40c for so common a stamp is because few of them exist 
on unwatermarked paper. They were the last printings and were 
quickly replaced by impressions from the same plates on water- 
marked paper. All the plates were of 400 subjects.

Arrow: At the left 2.50 At the right 2.50 

There were 8 plates of this denomination and 20 million 
stamps issued. It will be noticed at once that this stamp is the 
first in which both 400 and 200 1 subject plates were used. We have 
explained so very minutely in the author’s note the meaning of such 
plates that it will not be necessary to go into it again here. Four 
plates were Type I imprint and four were Type II imprint, from 
which latter the uncut arrows make their appearance.

Eight plates were used, four of each type of imprint, and 16,- 
718,150 stamps in all were issued.

Imprint Type III: Top 1.25 Bottom 1.25 [no side plaets] 

Arrow: At the left 4.00 At the right 4.00 

There were 4 plates of 400 subjects each to Type I, four plates 
of 200 subjects to Type II and the same number to Type III. In 
all 30,688,840 stamps were issued. Pairs are known with the hori- 
ontal pairs missing, viz., endwise pairs .'mperf between and are 
worth $40.00 in that condition. The stamp is often found from very 
badly wiped plates giving the paper a smudgy brown cast and the 
perforations in this value are sometimes villainous. The large 
quantity issued were needed, probably, because it was the rate of 
postage on single letters to Europe.

Imprint Type I: Top 1.50 Bottom 1.50 [no side plates] 

Arrow : At the left 5.00 At the right 5.00 

One plate (No. 28) of 200 subjects was used to print the 5,120,- 
800 stamps issued. The color usually holds very even and with the 
exception of an endwise pair, imperf between, worth $35.00 we may 
dismiss this value from further consideration. 

EIGHT CENTS 

257 8 c puce 50 Block 2.00 

Imprint Type I: Top 2.50 Bottom 2.50 [no side plates] 

Arrow: At the left 6.00 At the right 6.00 

The catalogue quotation is only 25c, which I have raised 100%. 
When the Bureau began to issue stamps the Postal Authorities had 
on hand a large quantity of the 8c of 1890. This is evidenced by 
the fact that this 8c did not appear until Mch 25, 1895, whereas the 
other values were issued in the fall of 1894. In July, 1895, the 
watermarked 8c appeared, so that the life of this un watermarked 
stamp was exactly four months. Only one plate was used to pro- 
duce the 2,426,100 stamps issued, which were one-half the number 
of the 6c, and the 6c is quoted 30c. The shade “puce” is often not 
understood by collectors, a better description would be brownish 
plum. However, we stick to “puce” until dealers and collectors mu- 
tually agree on color nomenclature, and when that time comes we 
shall undoubtedly be where neither colors nor prices nor arrows 
nor imprints will bother us much. 


TEN CENTS 

258 10 c dark green Block 3 00 

Imprint Type I: Top 2.50 Bottom 2.50 Right 2.50 Left 2.50

Attention will be immediately called to the heavy increase in 
quotations for blocks. For some unexplained reason this denomina- 
tion is exceedingly rare in block form. The value was printed from 
4 plates of 400 subjects each and 12,263,180 stamps were issued 
Being registration plus postal rate its use was very general

Imprint Type I: Top 3.50 Bottom 3.50 [no side plates] 
Arrow with line: At the left 10.00 At the right 10.00 

One plate (No. 52) of 200 subjects was used to produce the 
1,583,000 stamps issued. This is a hard little stamp to find in block 
form. The top plate is far rarer than the bottom, although I price 
them the same. In an old plate number list I find the top plate 
priced 10.00 and the bottom priced 1.0*0, so at today’s prices the 
top should be worth 30.00 or so. Perhaps it is. 

FIFTY CENTS 


260 50c orange 2.00 Block 8 . 00 

Imprint Type I: Top 10.00 Bottom 10.00 
Arrow: At the left 30.00 At the right 30.00 

One plate of two hundred subjects (No. 75) was used to pro- 
duce the 175,300 stamps issued. The copies around are usually hor- 
ridly centered, which is also true of the three higher values. The 
Scott catalogue lists the stamp as imperf horizontally, one of the 
few U. S. stamps I have never seen and I should want to see a pair 
before being convinced. Deducting those overprinted “Philippines,” 
I should think there are few enough to go round amongst the faith- 
ful. As in the 15c, I price both positions of the imprint alike, but 
again I see the old check list of plates published by J. M. Bartels in 
1899 prices the top position 20 00, the bottom 2 50, so evidently 
the top is rarer. One might describe the stamp as badly perforated, 
horrible to look at when cancelled and difficult to find anyway. 
Otherwise there isn’t anything the matter with it. 

ONE DOLLAR 


261 1.00 Black (I) 2.50 Block 10.00 

261a 1.00 Black (II) 7.50 Block 30. 00 

This is a particularly interesting stamp. So few (35,046) 
were issued, the catalogue quotation of 2 50 appears very low; 
$4 00 would be nearer right — in fact, at simple interest, 6%, this 
stamp is now 1 00 + 1 44, or $2 44, and we want something bet- 
ter than that. The chief interest, however, lies in the two types of

the stamp whch passed unnoticed by collectors from 1894 to 1915, 
over 2 0 years. These two types occur on the same sheet, and are 
as follows:

Careful study will reveal the following points of difference*

curved line below “One Dollar”. 

Type II. The circles are not broken; they are complete.

In Vol V, Number 3, of the Philatelic Gazette I find the follow- 
ing description of these two varieties: 

“Transfers were taken by the Bureau of Engraving and Print- 
ing from the American Bank Note Comapny dies of the 30c and 90c 
series of 1890, and worked over to manufacture the dies of the 50c 
and One (Dollar series of 189 4. The original die of the 50c shows 
slight traces of the foliate ornaments within the white oval; these 
traces were all cut away from the transfer and do not appear upon 
the plate. The original die of the One Dollar, however, shows the 
full foliate ornaments of both circles of value encroaching upon the 
white oval; the encroaching ornaments were cut away upon the 
transfers and do not appear upon the plate. The ornaments were 
removed in a different manner from at least two of the transfers, 
and as both transfers were used in laying down the only plate made, 
TWO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT VARIETIES OF THE ONE' DOL- 
LAR EXIST. Plate 7 6, the only plate manufactured of this value 
was of 200 subjects, the left pane showing 100 impressions, all 
Type I. The left half of the right pane is Type I (’5 vertical rows, 
equals 50 impressions) and the right half of the right pane is 
Type II. 

Thus it will be very clearly seen we must look out for the fol- 
lowing: 

Imprint from the left pane, Type I: 

Top 15.00 Bottom 15.00 [no sides] 

Imprint from the right pane, Types I and II together: 

Top 30. OO Bottom 30.00 [no sides] 

Arrow: At the left Type I 40.00 At the right Type II 100.00 

In Bartels’ old list he fails to quote the top plate position. Per- 
haps it is as hard to find as the preceding value.

Imprint Type II: Top 25. 00 Bottom 25.00 [no sides] 

Arrow: At the left 50.00 At the right 50.00 

A beautiful stamp usually marred by most awful perforations. 
Only one 200' subject was used to produce the 10,027 stamps issued. 
Again the top plate is rarer than the bottom.

Imprint Type II: Top 45.00 Bottom 45.00 [no sides] 
Arrow: At the left 100.00 At the right 100.00 

I grumble at the quotation 12.00 for this stamp. Five Dol- 
lars plus 24 years’ interest equals 12.20. Add to this the fact that 
only 6,254 were issued from one two hundred subject plate, and it 
makes it very plain that the Scott catalogue is way off. I would like 
to see the price 17.50 or so, but then I am and always was a high- 
priced man, so perhaps it’s all right, after all, as it is — maybe. 


This brings us to the end of the series of postage stamps with- 
out watermark. I will take up the Dues, etc., later. Before closing 
this issue up, I must chronicle the existence in an unperforated con- 
dition of the following values: 

3 c — 4c 5c — 10c 

They exist in the market in pairs and blocks and came out many 
years ago. Their value is more or less staple at about 10.00' to 
15.00 per block. No quotation is possible on the arrow and plate 
blocks — any dealer having such a thing usually prices it according 
to his digestion and the mood in which he feels. Dealers are wicked 
and curious people, trained to rob the innocent collector and abso- 
lutely devoid of the milk of human kindness. I go on record here 
to that effect in order to forestall the remarks this new book will 
probably bring forth. 


DIKING EIGHTEEN NINETY-FOUR TO NINETEEN HUNDRED 


15 


SERIES OF 1895 

In 1895 the Postal Authorities were stirred to activity by the 
discovery of a counterfeit 2c stamp. To prevent a recurrence of 
such a fraud the Bureau decided on using a watermarked paper. 
The watermark consists of the letters U. S. P. S. for United States 
Postal Service. 

At first the watermark was very faint, but as new stocks of 
paper were manufactured the watermark was made more distinct. 
This watermarked paper was in continuous use until 1910. All the 
values of this 1895 issue exist unperforated, which I treat after the 
end of the issue.

Imprint Type IV: Top .45 Bottom .45 Right .45 Left .45

The full force of the imprints begins to be felt with this stamp. 
Only four plates were used on Type I and as long ago as 1899 plate 
strips of this variety commanded 17.50. All the plates were of 400 
subjects, and sevent-eight plates in all were used as follows: 4 
plates Type I, 8 plates Type II, 29 plates Type III and 37 plates 
Type IV.

Plate 116 is rare. There is nothing particular to say about 
this stamp. It is, of course, far rarer than its companion on un- 
watermarked paper and its color varies but little. There is no 
record of the quantity printed but judging by its scarcity there 
cannot have been a very large quantity. .Seventeen plates were used.

iSix plates were used to produce this stamp, four from Type II 
and two for Type III, the last one being the notorious No. 170. I 

say notorious because on that plate Types II and III can be found 

se-tenant, certain of the rows being Type III and others Type II. 
The color holds very even and the quotation of 50c is not exorbitant, 
as supplies of this stamp are not over-abundant.

iPlates 427, 428, 429 and 430 are rare. This is a difficult stamp 
to analyze because it runs to an enormous range of shades, which 
gradually glide from rose to carmine, red, orange red, pink and the 
very scarce carmine rose of 1898. Just where 1897 ended and 1898 
began as far as color is concerned is a tough nut to crack. How- 
ever, it is best to follow the Scott listing and assign the orange red 
and carmine rose to 1898 and let all the other shades come under 
1895. Type II imprint had 12 plates to produce it, so that it is 
clearly scarcer than the others. It would be well to note that all 
plates above 160 are of Type III stamp in the catalogue. All plates 
above 328 are Type IV imprint. The quotations on the plate num- 
bers are for the commoner shades. Twelve plates were Type II, 90 
plates Type III and 271 plates Type IV.

Being 200 subjects, we find the arrows in place of the side plates. 
Type II had a plain arrow, Type IV the arrow with line. Type IV 
imprints always have very deep colored stamps — very clearly printed 
and they really belong in the 189 8 class. This is the first stamp 
we encounter that has two types of arrows. Our description of 
“arrow only” means a marginal arrow pointing to the space between 
the fifth and sixth rows. Arrow “with line” means a similar arrow 

but with the point joined to the point of its vis a vis by a line of 

color running right across the sheet. There were four plates of 
Type II and five plates of Type IV.

All the plates were of 200 subject form. Four plates were 
Type II, four were Type III and eight were Type IV. The color 
holds remarkably even until 189 8, when, of course, the change is so 
marked that no confusion could possibly arise.

II, twelve plates of Type III and eight of Type IV. As in the three 
c,ent value, the color becomes much richer and clearer in the late 
printings in 1897 and 1898 until the color was changed to blue. 
This was foreign postage rate and of course a vast quantity of the 
stamps were issued, which accounts for its not being particularly 
scarce.

Type I was on plate 28 and is very rare on the watermarked 
paper. Type III was on two plates and is also rare. There were 
three plates used on Type IV. 

There is considerable study necessary with this stamp. In the 
first place, it has been discovered printed on the Revenue Paper 
which is watermarked U. iS. I. R. The first two letters of course 
are analagous with the postage watermark, so one must have a 
copy clearly showing the “I” or the “R” to be sure of the variety 
In 189 8 the color changed to a deep cardinal reddish shade, but in 
1901 I am inclined to think it was printed in a distinct color w'hich 
1 would like to describe as a dull dark cinnamon shade, more 
nearly matching the color of the original printings of 1895. 

All were 200 subject plates.

Puce is one of those extraordinary colors that cataloguers 
seem to hide behind when one cannot exactly describe the color. 
This stamp is really plum brown, reddish plum and dull brownish 
(plum. All the plates were in 200 subject form and the error of 
watermark, found in the 6c, is also found in this value.

This stamp, like its unwatermarked sister, is rare in block form, 
and the price shows it. All eight plates were in 400 subject fiorm, 
probably because this value was in great demand, representing 
registration plus postage. . The color is very even as a rule.

This stamp is decidedly scarce — the 1919 Scott jacked up the 
price from 50 to 65c, and even at that one rarely finds blocks in 
any abundance. It was from two 200 subject plates, and the color 
holds very true in all the printings.

Once more a plate (288) recorded but apparently never issued. 
If it was, then we shall have to add imprint Type III. There is 
nothing to say about this stamp as its color is very even and speci- 
mens are around in fair supply. There were 12,300 issued from 
plate 85, 200 subjects. 


This brings us to the end of the watermarked issue. There 
are, however, some little “side shows’’ which require mention. The 
first of these are the “imperfs.” Many years ago a philatelist, 
now dead, managed to get a sheet of each and every denomination 
imperf by making the exchange of perforated copies. How he pulled 
the strings or how he did it I do not know, but the stamps are in 
existence. The 2c was Type III, of course. The value of the sets 
in blocks of four is about 250'. 00. The second little item that it 
would be wise to note is the existence of these values overprinted 
“Universal-Postal Congress” in three lines. ‘One hundred and 
twenty-five sets were so printed and presented to delegates to the 
Congress of the Universal Postal Union, then in session in Wash- 
ington. I should value them at 50.00 per set. Occassionally one 
meets with this 1895 set with the word “(Specimen” in a small type, 
put on, I believe, when exchanges, etc., were made with other coun- 
tries or for museum purposes.

SERIES OF 1898 

The Post Office Department, having agreed to conform with the 
colors adopted by the Postal Union before January 1, 1899, ac- 
counts for the change in colors in this issue. The lc changing to 
green conflicted with the 10c, so that stamp went to brown. The 2c 
merely changed its shade, the 3c remained purple, the 4c being a 
ibrown somewhat like the new 10c went to maroon and also an 
orange ibrown. The 5c, heretofore brown, became blue, and the 6c 
went from a dull brown to a beautiful rich claret lake. The 8c re- 
mained sedately puce, and the 10c went to brown. The 15c, being 
blue, conflicted with the new 5c, so that value became a deep olive, 
interesting, as it is the first time the United States ever employed 
that color for a postage stamp. Above the 15c the colors of 1895 
remained as before. We find some interesting colors in this issue, 
some of which are really rare, and we also have to elucidate the 
curious mix-up- in the 10c value. Outside of that and a casual 
mention here of this issue being extensively used for overprinting 
stamps for our Colonial possessions, we can perhajps carefully un- 
wrap this little package and peep cautiously in.

All plates were of 400 subject form. In the 1895 issue we 
touched very lightly upon the status of this stamp, but it will re- 
quire more careful consideration here. All the orange, deep brick 
red and rosy carmine shades are of the 1898 issue It was this 
stamp that was also used to produce the first “booklets ” the 
date of issue being April, 1900. Entirely different plates were laid 
down to produce these little books, which contained 12 24 or 4 8 
stamps. These plates were of two forms: (a) 180 subjects, (b)

three (hundred and sixty subjects. It is hardly necessary to go into 
the variations, since my book on the issues of the Twentieth 'Cen- 
tury fully explains them and gives the diagrams. To be commer- 
cial, thirty-five cents will procure a copy of this book, if you have 
not already got it carefully put away with the family register, Lib- 
erty Bonds and other valuable home decorations. However, we 
will list the booklet:

Here is the stamp for shades. All twelve plates were of 200 
subject formand the colors run, according to the Hon. J. N. Luff, 
as rose brown, claret brown, deep claret brown, lilac brown and 
red brown, to which I very humbly add deep maroon. The orange 
and rosy brown are the two commonest shades. The stamp is 
rather a pleasing color and beyond that there is nothing to say.

All twenty plates were on 200 subjects. The very pale light 

shade is far rarer than the darker one. As this was the single letter

adequate to produce the vast quantity of the stamp that was re- 
quired.

Again a fine field for the shade man. There is, however, one 
color known as purplish lake in the catalogue which is exceedingly 
rare. I value it at 4 00, a block at 20 1 00, a plate strip at 18 00; 
but purplish lake is a color I don’t like. I would sooner have it 
magenta or magenta lake. It is the bluish cast which instantly 
separates it from the lake or claret shades. Six plates of 200 sub- 
jects were used to produce this stamp.

Sixteen plates of 400 subjects were used to produce this issue. 
Being of four hundred subjects no arrows exist and blocks are very 
hard to find. It was not until 1915 that the second variety of this 
value was discovered by 'Mr. B. W. H. Poole, who duly exploited it 
in the February number of the Philatelic Gazette. The Scott cata- 
logue gives a very lucid description of the variety, as follows:

always in a dull brown. Variety 2 is found in a rich orange brown, 
in a dull brown and the usual brown of Variety I.

Only one 200 subject plate was used for this stamp. The ear- 
lier printings were in a yellowish shade of olive, the later printings 
in a bluer shade. This is a handsome stamp that will require some 
looking for in a few years. 


This brings us down to the special set issued to celebrate the 
Trans-Mississippi Exposition, and I will proceed at once to treat 
that issue.

This issue was originally to be in two colors, but finally was 
issued in single color. Some beautiful large cardboard proofs exist 
with vingnettes in black, but the Bureau found it impossible to issue 
them in two colors. The scenes represented on the stamps, together 
with the colors of the denominations Mr. Luff gives as follows:

Lamprecht, now in the possession of the Marquette College of 
Milwaukee, Wis., representing Father Marquette in a boat on 
the Upper Mississippi preaching to the Indians. Color: dark 
green.

The stamps measure 34x22 mm. and were perforated 12. The 
watermark is always found sideways. A new form of imprint was 
used, but as only one type exists it is not necessary to describe it 
minutely as the illustration clearly shows the type. The stamps 
appeared on June 17, 1898, and were in sheets of 100 cut from top 
to bottom into sheets of 50.

This stamp is excessively rare in blocks. At the great Worth- 
ington auction a block brought 51.00. There were 56,900 issued 
of the $1 and 56,200 of the $2, so the quotation seems to show that 
both these values are likely to work higher soon. Speculators got 
so badly bitten on the Columbian issue of 1893 that they probably 
didn t buy many of these stamps, hence their disappearance from 
dealers’ stocks. All the values are known overstruck “specimen.” 


This brings me to the end of the issues and up to 1901, where 
commences my other feeble effort. I have tried to estimate prices 
fairly on the basis of scarcity. In some cases no doubt I shall be 
found far at sea and if I live long enough to revise this work at 
some future time I shall be glad to note any corrections my readers 
may be kind enough to send me.

THE POSTAGE DUE STAMPS 

Beyond stating that these stamps are to be found in all kinds 
of shades there is not very much to say about them. They are not 
really postage stamps in the strict sense of the word — they are 
merely receipts for postage already earned. However, as most peop- 
ple collect them, it is my duty to sift them out. The stamps meas- 
ure 18*4x22 mm. 


SERIES OF 1894 
No Watermark. Perf 12 

The Scott catalogue is incorrect as giving the date 1894 — 
it should read 189 4-5 since the 1, 2 and 10‘c came in 1894 and the 
3, 5, 30 and 50 c in 1895. It will not be necessary to state under 
each denomination the fact that all values were in plates of 200 
subjects and at issue divided vertically into 2 panes of 100 stamps 
each. There is a fairly plentiful supply of these stamps in the 
market but the arrows are distinctly rare. .

The tops are for some reason scarcer than the bottoms. This

This stamp did not appear until 1895 and is not very unruly

The catalogue lists a carmine shades at $1.50. As a matter of 
fact it is pink, not carmine at all, and in my opinion much commoner 
than the deep claret shade. One often sees this pink washed-out 

color marked in dealers’ selections as a “rare shade” as a matter 

of fact it isn’t rare at all. It is rare in the 50c value

This issue is merely the 1894 issue over again, but on the wa-

resulting from such printings are numerous and difficult to describe

Plate 2 60' is imprint Type III. I have no data at hand to know 
if it has eever been issued or not. Mr. Luff gives the plate a s is- 
sued; Bartels gives it as unissued. This stamp holds pretty even 
to its catalogue color. In my opinion it is worth more than the 
60c at which it is listed. Only 5 to 10 thousand were issued in a 
year. Many of them must have been cancelled.

I find plate 261 given, which is Type III, but Bartels says it 
was not issued. I list it but have no data about it. I very seriously 
object to the catalogue quotation of 1.00; I find the stamp scarce, 
and think 2.00 would be nearer the mark; for instance, from July 
1, 1899, to June '30, 1900, only 1730 of these stamps were issued, 
nine-tenths of which were in all probability used. The color is true 
to the catalogue and doesn’t vary much. In 1898 200 of each de- 
nomination were overprinted for the Postal Congress, as in the 
regular issue, in which place I fully described the overprint.

THE NEWSPAPER STAMPS 

I have heard it claimed that newspaper stamp© ought never to 
ibe collected because they were not issued to the public. There is 
some merit in the argument, but as they represent cash paid for 
postage I think they are worthy of recognition. Many collectors do 
not understand the method in which these stamps were used. When 
a publication went into the mails at “pound rates” the publisher 
paid the post office in cash — and stamps equivalent in value to his 
payment were stuck in a book and cancelled. Quoting again from 
Mr. Luff’s book: “When in 1894, the Bureau of Engraving and 
Printing entered upon the contract to supply the stamps required 
by the Post Office iDepartment, many difficulties were encountered 
at the beginning of the undertaking, as was to be expected. It was 
necessary to provide and increased force of skilled employes, addi- 
tional machinery, new plates and, in the case of the Newspaper and 
Periodical Stamps, new designs. The plates for these latter stamps 
were not ready until the beginning of the year 1895. In the mean 
time the necessary supplies were obtained by printings from the old 
Continental and Amrican Bank Note Companies. These printings 
have marked peculiarities by which they may be distinguished with- 
out difficulty from the work of the former contractors. The plates 
were re-entered before they were put to press and consequently the 
impressions appear sharp and unworn. The shades, even those of 
the black, differ from any previously used. Many of the impres- 
sions have the surface of the paper tinted from imperfect wiping of 
the plates. The paper is white, semi-transparent and with very lit- 
tle grain. The gum is white or yellowish white. At first it was 
quite rough and cracked but afterwords it became thin and smooth. 
The perforation of the early printings was blind and the disks of the 
paper, which should have been punched out, usually remained in 
the holes. Improved machines were used for the sheets of the 
later printings and th e perforation was then clear and fine.” 

New numbers were assigned to these old plates; whether they 
were engraved on them or not I cannot say, but I do know they did 
not appear on the printed sheets.

This issue was produced by the Bureau to replace the makeshift 
printings from the American and Continental Bank Note Companys* 
plates. The values from lc to 10c had the emblematical figure of 
America, the 25c and 50c values represented Astraea, whilst the 
higher vadues were, respectively, $2 Victoria, $5 'Clio, $10' Vesta, 
$20 Peace, $50 Commercial $100 The Indian. All the plates were 
on subjects of 100, cut horizontally into sheets of 50 stamps. There 
are arrows and guide lines quartering the plates. The guide lines, 
I am told, were added at a later date, the original issue not having 
them, but as I have no actual information on this point I do not 
separate the arrows at present.

Type VI is only found on the lc, 2c, 5c, 10c and 50c water- 
marked issue; it was also used on plate 258 for the 25c, hut that 
plate was never issued. The positions of the imprint are interest- 
ing, as we find the arrows and guide lines running through them, 
which is never found in any other of the Bureau’s productions. At 
the top and bottom we require four stamps to show the imprint and 
arrow; at the sides we only require three stamps. In the lower 
values the imprint is cut by the cutting machine when halving the 
sheets, so one must join the sides to get the full imprint and in join- 
ing it one automatically reconstructs the arrow. In the Dollar 
values the imprint at the sides is so placed that the cutter does 


not mutilate it at all.

The position of the imprint on the higher values is, as I stated 
before, different. The sheets were of 100 impressions, cut horizon- 
tally into halves but the side imprint were so placed that the cut- 
ting machine did not halve them as it did in the lower values. At 
the top and the bottom it takes 4 stamps for an imprint, the tiny 
side ornament just running into the end stamp. At the sides three 
stamps are enough. The side arrows were cut in two.

This is a repetition of the previous set except for two distinc- 
tions. Firtsly, the stamps are watermarked and, secondly, a new 
type of imprint (Type VI) -appears on the lower values. On July 1, 
1898, the use of Periodical Stamps was discontinued and in Febru- 
ary, 1899, the Government put on sale, to collectors, the entire 
series at $5 per set, but, as some of the values were not in sufficient 
quantity to make up complete sets recourse was had to the printing 
press and Reprints were made. About 30,000 sets were sold to the 
public, and as most of the $5 stamps were surcharged for Internal 
Revenue use, that value is of course the rarest as an original and 


the commonest as a reprint.

SPECIAL DELIVERY 


In the newspaper stamps I ‘brought in, for the first time, two 
new forms of imprint which we called Types V and VI. These same 
imprints are found in the Special Delivery isues plus another or 
seventh type. 

The plates were all of 100 subjects, divided vertically into panes 
of 50 stamps to that side arrows are obtainable complete. Only one 
plate (77) was used for the unwatermarked issue and the imprint 
of course was Type V. These imprints occur twice on the top and 
twice on the bottom of each full sheet.

This stamp is known imperf and came with the 1895 series of 
postage stamps. It is also known overprinted, like the contempo- 
rary postal issue, with the words “Universal Postal Congress” in 
three lines. There is a very deep indigo shade of this stamp which 
is far rarer than the ordinary color one meets with. I value it as 
easily worth $1.00 per stamp.

ASSIGNMENT OF PLATES 

This list has been made after days of labor and time and is, I 
believe, correct. It will be well to notice the abbreviations: 

P means Regular Postage Stamps. 

'U means 'Unpaid Letter .Stamps. 

S means Special Delivery Stamps. 

N means Newspaper Stamps. 

D means Due Stamps. 

B means Booklets. 

It is not necessary to note the plate positions obtainable since 
all 400 subject plates have Top, Bottom, Right and Left plates, 
whilst all 200 subject plates have Tops and Bottoms only. In the 
newspaper and other odd-sized sheets reference to the body of the 
text will give the collector the key to the plate positions. The types 
of imprint are carried out and the triangle varieties of the 2c are 
noted until the third triangle only remained; from then on it is 
not noted.
